Kis - Balaton

The rather unimaginatively named Kis-Balaton (Little Balaton) is an internationally recognized protected wetland, where you can hike, bike and birdwatch. Head to Kányavári Sziget, an island near Balatonmagyaród, and try to spot some of the 250 species who’ve been seen here. The whitetailed eagle feeds here, the osprey and the Shakespearean-sounding Montagu’s harrier have visited, and the short-eared owl nests here.
